Question for Week of April 20:
Is Mrs. Flanagan a good mother to Moose? Is she a good mother to Natalie? Why does she treat her children so differently? Is she right in being this way?

I think Mrs. Flanigan is a good mother, but I think she treats Moose different than Nataile because the she trusts Moose, and needs help with taking care of Natalie. She goes to see Moose and lookes at him like a babysitter for Natile because she is gone teaching Piano lessons, and Moose's dad works pretty much all day in the prisin. And, of course she does not trust Nataile on he own because she is autistic.

I think that she is being a good mother to Natalie but I think that it's how she is kind of dumping all of the work on Moose because she is teaching people how to play piano. I think that is bad how she is making Moose watch a kid with autism. I think because Moose has to watch Natalie instead of playing with Scout, she is ruining his social life!!!!! I think she treats Moose like a babysitter and Natalie more like an actual person. Also an example from the book is when Moose was trying to find the baseball for Scout and he has to take Natalie with him.

I agree with Evan and Brad about Mrs. Flanagan being a good mother to Moose. I also think that she is a good mother to Natalie because she keeps on trying to find cures for Nat, like the Esther P. Mariof school, the voodo doll, and other thinigs like that. I guess that Mrs.Flanagn is treating Moose and Nat differently because Nat is autistic, and Moose isn't, and also she is always trying to help Nat. I think that Mrs.Flanagan shouldn't dump the work of looking after Nat on Moose. Pen-Pen

i think mrs.flanagan is a ok mother to moose she is a little unfair but is somewhat like a usaule mother she puts alot of work on moose and she treats nataly difrently like pen-pen said. mrs.flanan is a very strage person and hard to identafy she is like a usaule mother with a little wierd in her. hadhadi

I think Mrs.Flanagan is a good mother to moose she treated natalie different from moose because she has a very different stile of doing things and any other person I agree with Pen-Pen that nat is autistic and moose isn't but I don't think that Mrs. Flanagan should dump looking over nat on moose because that is just one more thing that moose has to do and it can be verry strefull to care for a mental girl.- Chris

I think that mooses mom tries to be better mom to nat because she has autusm and she gets really mad easly if she dosne't get enough attenion i think that mooses mom is a little meran to him because he has to babysit nat to much and nat older than moose i wonder what it would be like if nat wasn't autisc.-Bethany
